Diane Margaret (Adrian) Welton

Beloved wife, mother and grandmother age 65, passed away peacefully on March 25, 2013 surrounded by family in Mora, Minnesota.

Diane was born May 14, 1947 in Charles City, where she met her future husband who was born May 15. Diane attended Charles City High School graduating in 1965. On June 10, 1967, Diane and Richard were married at St John Lutheran Church in Charles City. Diane and Richard subsequently lived in several different states, most recently Minnesota.
Diane spent much of her life studying various native religions. This pursuit allowed her to travel the world in search of new experiences.

Recently Diane noted that she had set foot on every continent other than Antarctica. Love for all animals was a force in Diane’s life. Family, cooking, reading and learning were her main sources of enjoyment and satisfaction.

Diane was preceded in death by her parents, Frederick and Grace (Kogle) Adrian. She is survived by her husband Richard of Mora, Minnesota, son Eric (Aoy), grand-daughter Eve currently of Portland, Oregon, and brother Anthony (Betsy) Adrian of Redmond, Oregon.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Diane’s name to an organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of wildlife.
